Life-Changing Cows

                                                animals in many parts of the world? Irish dairy cows will produce
                                                approximately 16-20 litres of nutritious milk every day, whereas, the
                                                average local cow in African countries will only give 1 litre of milk per day.

                                                leftover milk and start to earn a small income, often for the first time.
